Copyright matters and common sense

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy Easter! I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.

Secondly, there is a topic that has been weighing on my mind for a while, and I wanted to start a conversation about it here.

Many readers will notice that I have never put a copyright notice on my blog.

The reason for this omission is simple -- savvy as I (likely) am with all things cinema and writing, I have no clue about HTML or templates or any similar behind-the-scenes stuff. I have never learned how do do this, simply because I would not hesitate in issuing a warning if I recognized some of my writing on another site, and the people who take without requesting might not necessarily be stopped by a prompt. So far, I have been counting on simple human decency and fairness, as well as common sense in knowing and respecting the fact that stealing and reproducing any material without the owner's permission is wrong.

However, all of the above is beside the point. I know that I need to put this notice on my site, and I need to learn how to do it. Therefore, I am inviting readers to provide advice and knowledge, which I would truly appreciate. My writing needs protection and my blog needs you, so come on down! Thank you!
